North Korea Fires Short Ballistic Missiles Toward East Sea
North Korea fired multiple short ballistic missiles toward waters off its east coast Saturday, a day after the US, South Korea and Japan wrapped up joint military exercises that Pyongyang had condemned as a threat to its security.
North Korea has fired multiple short ballistic missiles toward waters off its east coast, according to South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff, who reported the launches occurred around 5:20 a.m. on Saturday. The missiles were launched from the Wonsan area on North Korea’s east coast, and the military has since strengthened surveillance and readiness for additional launches.
South Korea's National Security Office convened an emergency security situation review meeting, urging North Korea to halt the launches, which it called a serious violation of UN Security Council resolutions. US Pacific Command stated that there is no immediate threat to the US and its allies.
